According to a wrongful firing lawsuit filed in June by a former media relations assistant for the Sacramento Kings pro basketball team, star player Doug Christie is not permitted to speak to any female other than his wife, for any reason. The assistant said she was fired because she innocently passed along a telephone message to Christie in the course of her work, but that when Mrs. Christie found out, she pressured the organization to fire her and reaffirm the Christie family policy.

Okay, I'm confused. Was Christie "not permitted to speak to any females other than his wife" before or after the assistant was fired?

I've done a quick search, there's no other information yet available on this.
